Officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement
Agency (NDLEA) at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, have arrested a
Lagos pastor for drug trafficking.
Mr. Nsikak-Abasi Udoh, the NDLEA commander at the
Enugu Airport, said the suspect, Daniel Lanre Akintola, 43, was found with
1.978kg of heroin concealed in a false bottom of his luggage.
He said: “Mr. Daniel Lanre Akintola unlawfully
possessed 1.978kg of heroin while returning from Entebbe, a major town in
Central Uganda. He wanted to abandon the luggage but we detected his intention.
“The drug was carefully concealed in a false bottom
of his luggage. The second suspect is a businessman who had parcels of
ephedrine weighing 51.5kg which he wanted to smuggle to Maputo, Mozambique.
Akintola, who claimed ownership of the bag
containing heroin, said he was returning from a pastor’s conference.
